1964 Map of Richton

Extensive gravel operations and scattered Oil Wells reveal the mid-century industrial footprint, while the topography is dominated by the meandering path of Thompson Creek and the southern flow of Bogue Homo. For those tracing local families, the presence of the Isalah Hinton Cem and Sunset Cem provides critical genealogical coordinates. The addition of the Richton-Perry Co Airport and the Richton Lookout Tower further illustrate the infrastructure of this Mississippi interior during the mid-1960s.
